The jury in the Miner murder case

The jury in the Miner murder case
at Colorado Springs have returned ver-
dict of acquittal. The defense was hypnot-
ism. 1t seems that Forbes, the murdered
man, struck Miner a heavy blow with the
butt end Of whip, after which the latter
went to his home, procured gun and shot
Forbes through the head. He claimed that
the blow from the whip SO effected him as
to cause state similar to somnambulism
and that he had no recollection of what
happened for several hours after the blow
was received. A number of physicians tes-
titled that this was not improbable, and the
jury evidently thought likewise.

The Red Flag 9sts showed Under By 80, 900
AsJortty.
CHICAGO, April 5.-Corrected re-
turns from all but three precincts place
Roche's majority at q, ,166. The so-called
United Labor party polled today just one
half the number of votes its leaders had
predicted three nights ago, before Robert
Nelson, their candidate for mayor distinct
" declared for the red flag. BE said in pub
lie, If the Sunday School children could
march in procession with their chosen BAN
ners and no American flag, he saw no rea-
son why workingmen if equally orderly
could not do the same, If the color of the
banner was red. Since then the campaign
has been fought solely on that issue and
the result is surprise to everyone, Social
lists and anti-Socialists alike. Two United
Labor aldermen are the only successful
candidates of that party. Their general
ticket is behind under majority of nearly
&, 900 votes.
1t was only last night that the Socialist
organizer (Greenhut) made the assertion
that the seven condemned Anarchists would
be saved by his party polling at least 81, 600
pledged votes, electing a Socialist city
sSoSoASi. eiiSh ShaliC " COT tOWh hiCAct ouo
six to nine aldermen. The party polled in
round numbers 10000 votes.
A Socialist ticket-peddler dropping dead
at the polls, probably of heart disease. was
the nearest approach to q tragic incident.
Not single row occurred during the day.
In the absence OF a Democratic ticket the
Democrats who voted cast their ballots al
most unanimously for the Republican can
didates- 1t is. estimated that about 10 per
cent of the Democrats failed to vote at all,
not wishing to vote the Republican ticket
and unwilling to indorse the candidates op-
posing.
Throughout the day the Republicans and
their Democratic allies irdustriously dis
tributed flaming dodgers presenting the is
sue of the election as the American flag
against the red. The United Labor party
endeavored to meet this with an equally
highly colored circular, claiming that
Roche was an Orangeman. The plan
failed signally and one of the characteris-
tic incidents of the day was the arrest in
the Sixteenth ward, by Officer Ryan, of
Herman Greenmeyer, German Socialist, for
too obtrusively circulating anti-Roche
circulars. The arrest nearly led to q riot,
but Greenmeyer was released on promising
to deSist.
Similar scenes were enacted in other
wards and have led to charges by the Uni
ted Labor leaders Of unwarranted interfer-
ence on the part of the police.
